Cerebral edema increases intracranial pressure by trapping fluid around the brain. As a result, it decreases the blood supply to the brain, which reduces the oxygen stores, thereby causing damage or death of brain cells. The damage can be irreversible or, at times, fatal. Brain fever, stroke, ischemic injury, brain infection, brain hemorrhage are the possible reasons for cerebral edema. Surgery, medications, hypothermia, and osmotherapy treat it.
